Messrs '''Peterson''' and '''Sargood''''s sheep: -Those animals were bred by Mr Thomas Shaw. The quantity of their wool is good, the quality medium, and the density medium also, but light. The fibres number 52,000 to the square inch. The wool in the London market has for the last eight years averaged about 2s 11d per lb. and particular a samples have gone as high as 4s l½d. Those sheep are capable of great improvement.
Mr '''A N Gilberts''' sheep:- The breeder of these sheep deserves very great credit for superior management in producing such profitable animals. For density, quality, and quantity, the wool is excellent, and contains 50,000 to the square inch. The skin is clean and free from discharges from the fibres of the wool.
Messrs '''Wolesley''', '''Gibbs''', and Co.'s sheep:- These sheep are capable of great improvement. Their wool is excellent in quantity, and good in density but rather wanting in condition, is of medium quality, and contains 40.000 fibres to the square inch.
Mr '''James Richmond''''s sheep:- This animal possesses an admirable appearance, is of excellent anatomy, and its wool is of excellent quality, quantity, and density, and numbers 62,000 fibres to the square inch. The skin is clean and free from discharge. Its sires are amongst the best in Australia.
Messrs '''M’Farland Bros'''' sheep:- The wool is of a useful staple, and for density, quality, and quantity its growth should bo encouraged.
Messrs '''Henty''' and '''Niell''''s sheep:-These animals requite improvement. Their wool is good in quantity, butts wanting in quality, density, and condition, and contains 44,000, fibres to the square inch.
Mr '''S Wilson''''s Yanko sheep:- Wants great improvement. The wool is of medium quantity and density, but is wanting in condition and quality.
Messrs '''Gayer''' and '''Crosse''''s sheep:- The wool is excellent in quantity, quality, and density, but the carcase is rather undersized.
It is mentioned as an evidence of the soundness of the decision of the judges in making their awards, that, after they had completed their examination of the exhibits, and before their awards had been made public, the exhibits were again carefully examined by Mr John Rutherford and Dr Duerow, and, from the notes made by them, it was found that their opinions, as to the proper disposition of the prizes, coincided exactly with those of the judges.
